Highs and Lows

Today had it's highs and lows.

Let's start with the lows...

Today was my brother's sentencing for Actual Bodily Harm. He was helping his friend who was jumped by some men. Because he kicked one of them in the head while he was on the floor, my brother was charged with ABH. Anyway, today he was sentenced to 18 months imprisionment. he will only serve 8 months. His girlfriend is pissed, because he will miss the birth of his first born. We are hoping going to prison will calm him down and strighten him out a little. But he could come out worse.

On the other hand, to the highs...

My neighbours are finally moving out. We have had quite a bit of trouble with them. They play their music really loud at night. Their dogs bark all the time. They and their friends park in our areas. Anyway, they are finally moving out. Part of me is sad to see them go. We have no idea what is moving in. All we know is they are a family with 11 year old twins. They are coming from a rough area of the city. They could be a really nice family wanting to move somewhere better for more space or they could be a really rough family that will be worse then the family moving out. I believe that's called catch 22.

That's my day. All that's left to do is tell my grand-parents on Monday that their grand-son has been sent to prison. They don't know that he was on probation. They don't even know that they are going to be great-grand-parents.

My Playlist

The playlist i added to the top of my page is all the songs that got stuck in my head throughout 2009.

I will add more tomorrow, hopefully.

Latest

I haven’t blogged in a while. There is two reasons for that. 1, I have been using Twitter a bit more and 2, there’s nothing really going on. So what have I been doing. Well I’ve been watching a lot more movies lately and trying to write reviews again, but I don’t have the motivation to write much.

For the last month or so, I have been craving snow. So I have been preparing for my ski/snowboard holiday next year by pricing up new equipment, finding the best travel arrangement and trying to find accommodation in case we can’t get our usual place.
In revamp news, the store is finally complete. I’m trying to get used to where everything is now but it’s not as easy as you may think. Before it took me a couple of years to figure out where everything was and I knew all the aisle numbers. But now it’s as if I have started again. However there is a good side. It still makes me laugh to see customers walk up to the exit door, which used to be the entrance, and expect to get in. They walk right up to the door and then take one step back, look at the door all confused like, then walk to the other door.

Last weekend on Saturday 4th April, it was my birthday. I turned 22. How did I spend my birthday? Well. I went to work as it was the revamp re-launch weekend, they wouldn’t let me have the day off. So I worked 10-7. Practically the whole day. I didn’t let anyone know. So it was really quiet for a birthday. At work, it seemed like everyone was out to piss me off. Certain staff and customers alike.

In brother news, he has stopped nicking because he has no choice. Everything I own is locked away where he can’t get to it. However he has gotten more aggressive. He pretty much trashed his room today because he could find his chap stick. He really scares me sometimes.

The End of an Era

It sucks, Today at work, one of the best managers in the store has left. Jenko as he’s known by the staff has gone to work for our sister company, to be manager there. Did I mention it sucks. He’s been a manager at my store for as long as I have worked there and probably years before that. He was always there offering advice and a sympathetic ear. He could always tell if I was bored and tried to find me something to do. He even tried to give me occupational therapy. A really great guy. He’s been there for me so many times. He said goodbye and he hopes I achieve all I set out to do. I said good luck. As he walked out the door he blew me a kiss and said ‘you’ll see me again, I’ll be in all the time‘. He knew I was sad to see him go. Oh yeah, it sucks. Then after he walked out the door, I noticed the song playing on the PA system. It was Waiting For That Day by George Michael. The line that goes ‘I know I’ll never see your face again’. I don’t know if I mentioned IT SUCKS. Hopefully he'll come crawling back like some managers have.
